I actually originally checked it out at my local library, but after reading it I decided to buy a copy because I loved it that much.

Shauna’s writing is beautiful and relatable, and her view of fellowship and food is very similar to mine.

I always joke that feeding people is one of my love languages, but it’s sort of true. I loved the vignettes in the book and the way she incorporates hospitality into her life.

The book also includes many recipes, several of which I have made and loved. The recipes are fuss-free and perfect for busy moms.

One of my favorites is her recipe for white chicken chili. It’s just so simple, yet so comforting. Honestly, it’s perfect. I’ve made other variations of white chicken chili before, and this is now my go-to for an easy but delightful weeknight meal.

I love that this recipe only requires four super simple ingredients, making it a ridiculously easy and frugal meal.

All you need is one medium to large boneless chicken breast, some salsa, some white beans, and chicken broth. That’s it! Brilliant, I tell ya!

For the salsa, try to find “fresh” salsa in your grocery store’s refrigerated section (typically in a little plastic tub) instead of the kind in a jar. You can use whatever variety you like–red salsa, salsa verde, mild, medium, spicy–it’s up to you!

I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice, so I like to use mild, but you can obviously use a spicier variety if you prefer.

If you love cooking and entertaining, I think you’ll love Bread & Wine. If you love good food, I think you’ll love this white chicken chili! It’s the perfect cozy meal for a winter evening.

I like to top it with a bit of shredded cheese, but you could also top it with avocado or cilantro or crushed tortilla chips. I love to serve it alongside my favorite skillet cornbread or a grilled cheese sandwich. Perfection.

Notes and Adaptations for Easy Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Feel free to use any kind of salsa. I used mild red salsa, but you could also use salsa verde or a spicier salsa. Whatever kind of salsa you prefer is fine! I do recommend trying to use “fresh” salsa, but jarred salsa will work as well.
